But amid an escalating climate crisis that threatens the homes of vulnerable people across the world, has the human cost of trekking the globe become too high? Paul Lindholdt links firsthand narratives with research about the travel trade, telling stories of his reluctant voyages while arguing that carbon-intensive trips abroad may be offset if adventurers come to know and love the landscapes closer to home. Tourism may be the planet's largest industry, but Interrogating Travel advises readers to stay mindful of the consequences of their journeys, whether visiting local getaways or some of Earth's most remote locations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49640440758545,"sku":"GOR013466428","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50469140693265,"sku":"CIN0807179493VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007783108881,"sku":"NIN9780807179499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52680458633489,"sku":"NLS9780807179499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807179493.jpg?v=1762596066"},{"product_id":"spokane-river-book-paul-lindholdt-9780295743134","title":"The Spokane River","description":"From Lake Coeur d’Alene to its confluence with the Columbia, the Spokane River travels 111 miles of varied and often spectacular terrain—rural, urban, in places wild. The river has been a trading and gathering place for Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. With bountiful trout, accessible swimming holes, and challenging rapids, it is a recreational magnet for residents and tourists alike. The Spokane also bears the legacy of industrial growth and remains caught amid interests competing over natural resources.  The contributors to this collection profile this living river through personal reflection, history, science, and poetry. They bring a keen environmental awareness of resource scarcity, climate change, and cultural survival tied to the river’s fate.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347737710865,"sku":"CIN0295743131VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000658133265,"sku":"NIN9780295743134","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51860230537489,"sku":"CIN0295743131G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0295743131.jpg?v=1767176034"},{"product_id":"in-earshot-of-water-book-paul-lindholdt-9781587299841","title":"In Earshot Of Water","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eWhether the subject is the plants that grow there, the animals that live there, the rivers that run there, or the people he has known there, Paul Lindholdt's \u003ci\u003eIn Earshot of Water\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the Pacific Northwest in vivid detail. Lindholdt writes with the precision of a naturalist, the critical eye of an ecologist, the affection of an apologist, and the self-revelation and self-awareness of a personal essayist in the manner of Annie Dillard, Loren Eiseley, Derrick Jensen, John McPhee, Robert Michael Pyle, and Kathleen Dean Moore.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e              Exploring both the literal and literary sense of place, with particular emphasis on environmental issues and politics in the far Northwest, Lindholdt weds passages from the journals of Lewis and Clark, the log of Captain James Cook, the novelized memoir of Theodore Winthrop, and Bureau of Reclamation records growing from the paintings that the agency commissioned to publicize its dams in the 1960s and 1970s, to tell ecological and personal histories of the region he knows and loves.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e In Lindholdt's beautiful prose, America's environmental legacies--those inherited from his blood relatives as well as those from the influences of mass culture--and illuminations of  the hazards of neglecting nature's warning signs blur and merge and reemerge in new forms. Themes of fathers and sons layer the book, as well--the narrator as father and as son--interwoven with a call to responsible social activism with appeals to reason and emotion.

One of the chapters closely examines some of the fine arts commissioned by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to valorize its big dam projects; no one before me has written about this art collection that toured the nation under the auspices of the Smithsonian in the early 1970s. Another chapter, An Iconography of Sabotage, previously published in France as part of proceedings of a symposium at which I spoke, looks at the pictorial dimension of saboteurs throughout American history, with a special emphasis on the IW and Earth First  I draw heavily from the social sciences throughout the book. Ecology and environment are treated too often as technical topics that often go over the heads of lay audiences and make for heavy reading. While a number of people care about air and water quality, about the extinction of species, and about the politicization of science, they also find the discourse daunting, the details exceedingly complex. By leavening such heavy subjects with topics that are relevant, Explorations in Ecocriticism will make environmental issues more accessible to lay readers","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52341931901201,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52341932622097,"sku":"NLS9780739194980","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780739194980.jpg?v=1758172238"},{"product_id":"making-landfall-book-paul-lindholdt-9781948338509","title":"Making Landfall","description":"The lyricism and power of Paul Lindholdt's evocative poems bring both the nature and culture of the American colonies to life in ways no history book ever could.
